Although it was off a busy street once inside the property it felt secluded and private. The yard was heavily wooded with a creek running through it. The grounds were well kept and nicely decorated with lots of places to relax and enjoy the outside with additional features of a fireplace and grilling area. There was plenty of room for the dog to wander. Inside it was clean, comfortable, and well organized with all the amenities and little things we needed. It has wonderful couch area and nice bed with extra blankets and pillows. There were no issues and everything functioned perfectly to make our visit just what we had hoped. We had an excellent stay.

Lovely, comfortable and a few minutes from quaint Fruita center, 20 mns from bigger city Grand Junction. Quiet, ample, private unit, comfortable bath, LR and bedroom, with great bike shed and off-street parking. Impressively spotless, very well lit. The hostess is charming and discreet but entirely available. We are biking Denverites and plan to return.

Desert's Edge was wonderful. It has a lot of character, was clean, comfortable, well appointed, and well taken care of. Its location was ideal for what we planned to do in the Fruita area. Karen was a wonderful host. She was personable, made us feel at home, readily addressed our questions, gave us good local information, and was dedicated to insuring our stay was complete.

Amazing house, great host!

The house is beautiful and had some really cool art! My pup was a long for the ride and had a nice big yard to run around in. It's located in the heart of Fruita, close to restaurants and shops. It's such a cute town.

Cute place

This place is super cute and clean. We were visiting family so we did not spend a lot of time here. Karen is an extremely nice person. The property is nice because it feels more remote and has a lot of shade trees. Would stay here again and recommend.

I just love this place. It is so peaceful, and all the beautiful pottery and artwork throughout the guesthouse is amazing! It’s everything that you would need for a quiet place to relax. The little enclosed dog area is excellent and my dogs thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sweet little getaway spot with all the special details

The house was lovely and comfortable. I appreciated the electric heat pump, recycling and compost. We sat outside to enjoy tea or snacks and listened to the birds and the stream nearby. The local artwork in the house was lovely and gave a nice feel for the artist community in Fruita.

WOW!! This is one of the nicest, cleanest, cute places we have stayed, and we have stayed quite a few places! So much was provided we really only needed to bring our food! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook, including spices. No oven, but there is a large toaster oven and really, who wants to bake on vacation anyway? The bathroom is really nice and large, plenty of hot water. The bedroom is separate from the main room and bed was very comfortable. Very quite. Karen has done a great job of making the place comfortable. Hope to be back next year!
